Mohr or Less

Howdy all.  I started this post yesterday but never finished it so I thought I’d push it over into today. 

Really it’s not my intent to turn this blog into a bitch session. I guess we all have better days than others.

Started off the day pretty good. Soon-to-be-ex (”STBE” for short) showed up a sour mood (she watches Kaleb during the day and picks up Taylor from school mid-day to watch them before before I get home from work.) Started talking logistics with me and got Taylor dressed for school while belittling me after I made suggestions per her request about what to dress Taylor in. ::sighs:: That being said, off to work I went.

Get to work and she starts texting me and accusing me of eating the kids’ granola bars. Now, anyone who reads this blog and/or follows me on Twitter knows I barely had enough time this weekend to feed the myself let alone eat all the kids’ granola bars. I reply back with some suggestions on where they might be. She replies back and tells me she found them and “thx.” No apologies, etc. But, I never expect that because rarely, if ever, would she “come down to a weak level” like that.

Having a pretty good work day fixing some little things and keeping myself in check. I admit that it’s a bit hard lately with everything that’s going on.

Later this morning, I sent STBE a text asking if she’s working tonight. Said she wasn’t sure so I’m sitting here wondering if I’ll take the kids w/ me to the Y or not. I’ll just assume that I will so she can do her thing. She then replies back that she’s not working tomorrow night because she “has plans.” Now, I always assume she’s working except when I’m not sure then I’ll ask. I didn’t reply back but I’m thinking “like I care.” I’ve already separated myself from her, knowing she’s moved on since she’s living with her boyfriend. I never ask her to watch the kids except for when she’s going to take them for her scheduled weekend visits. I just assume she has other things to do. Perhaps that sounds cold. But if anyone would have seen what happened just a few short weeks ago, they would understand where I’m coming from.

At the same time, I’m working with someone who already has two laptops (a question of incompetency is generally raised with this individual). This person wanted me to install the same software application on the second laptop. I informed this person that I simply could not afford to allow one individual to tie up two licenses since we pay for them by the seat, i.e. per computer. I was then asked how I could transfer files between the two computers so I suggested email them or use a jump drive. I guess that’s just too hard.

Back to a personal note, my plans for going to DC this weekend have gotten scrapped. Very long story on why that happened that I won’t mention now. Let’s just say that I’m extremely upset.

And now writing from today (Tuesday):

Went to the Y after work yesterday with Kaleb and Taylor.  They really enjoy going there and playing in the child care while I abuse myself for an hour and a half or so.  Did 6.5 miles on the treadmill within 30 minutes (something about plugging the iPod in and being completely oblivious to my surroundings while staring straight ahead w/ sweat running down my face).  The weightroom itself was pretty crowded after that but I managed to do most of my workout before growing tired of waiting for machines (missed one exercise).

Got back home w/ the kids, fed them, played with them a little bit then put them to bed.  Then I jumped on Second Life for a bit where I host at a virtual 80’s club for an hour or so on weeknights (nothing much on TV lately anyway).  Then I spent almost two hours on the phone w/ a good friend of mine.

Needless to say, I’ve decided to go to DC this weekend after all.  Can’t get a refund on the hotel room since I’ve paid via Hotwire (don’t think I’ll use them again; got an awesome deal but they have a zero cancellation policy).  I should probably get away anyway so it’ll be a welcome getaway.

Work up this morning, did an abs workout and came in to work.

And now, here I am. 

Y’all have a good one!  And, thanks for listening to my bitchin’!  Here’s hoping to a positive post very soon!
